New Julia IDE: JuliaJunction

@elan8 It’s great to see people working on alternatives, it’s a form of Darwinism. I am about as far away from a “power user” as it is possible to imagine, so JuliaJunction should be for me. I use VSCode and I have no issues.

What do I like or dislike [about JuliaJunction]?

Answer:

Currently it is only available for Windows

Thanks for the info. I did look into JETLS.jl some time ago. Might be interesting someday. I initially used LanguageServer.jl but I recently switched to a custom build languageserver in Rust that uses an AST parser to parse Julia code with some post processing to build a symbol table for stuff like “Goto definition” and such. Type inference is rather difficult/impossible for Julia using only static analysis.

Are you using MacOS or Linux? Both are on the TODO list.

Apologies, I should have said, I use Arch Linux. :slightly_smiling_face:

@elan8 It does look amazing, I love the design and it definitely moves the goal posts! I am happy to donate to a great home-grown software project, especially FOSS, but as a pure unpaid hobbyist, I would not be in the market to buy your IDE outright. But I am really impressed by what you’ve done. I will look out for a version that makes it to Arch’s AUR and I’ll give it a try. I wish you every success!

As a Windows user who find the current Julia Extension Debugging experience to be “not good” I’d be happy to give this a try.
Yet having the Debugger only in the pro option makes it less attractive to try.

Others set Remote Development, AI Coding Assist and Pair Programming as the pricing option which makes more sense to me.

On top of that, I’d be happy for an option without “Integrated Julia” which works on my pre installed Julia.

Also on Windows it would be great to have a Portable version of the IDE.
